Seeing Zhou Linglong's silent expression, Orion smiled softly. Without another glance, he stepped confidently into the gates of Chang'an City, his heart swelling with victory. This city, once the pride of an empire, was now opening its doors for him. Thousands of soldiers marched in, under his command.
At that very moment, a familiar sound echoed in his mind, a system notification:
[Ding! The host's forces have annihilated 2.93 million enemy troops! Three Half-Emperors and twenty-three Martial Saints have been slain…]
[Total luck points obtained: 51.82 million!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning a grand battle! Reward: one million luck points!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for occupying the capital of a nation! Reward: one million luck points!]
Orion froze for a second, then a wave of exhilaration surged through him. Over 50 million luck points! His eyes gleamed with excitement.
"Hah… that's a lot of luck!" he muttered, almost giddy with joy. With that kind of fortune, he could perform five emperor-level lottery draws in a row. But Orion wasn't satisfied just yet. There were still two more great figures to deal with—Zhou Linglong and the man in black robes from the upper realm. They would provide even more fortune once he was done with them.
For now, though, he restrained his greed. "Don't kill the goose that lays the golden eggs," he reminded himself. Once their usefulness had been drained, then he would finish them off.
"Alright, time for some emperor-level lottery draws!" he thought eagerly as he opened the system interface. "System, let's start an emperor-level lottery!"
[Ding! The host has chosen the emperor-level lottery, drawing now…]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning an exclusive army: 30,000 Xuanjia Troops!]
[Details: Junior Commander—Half-Emperor, Deputy Commander—Peak Martial Saint, Junior General—Martial Saint, Colonel—Half-Saint, Sergeant—Martial King through Martial Emperor!]
Orion's eyes widened in delight. The Xuanjia Army! They were renowned warriors, feared across realms, and now they were his to command.
At that moment, a tall figure clad in gleaming black armor stepped forward. His voice was resolute as he knelt, eyes burning with unwavering loyalty. "General Zhang Shigui greets the Lord."
Orion blinked. "Zhang Shigui?" He had expected Qin Shubao, but Zhang Shigui was a legendary warrior in his own right, the original founder of the Xuanjia Army. A twinge of disappointment was quickly replaced by pride.
"Rise, General Zhang. It is an honor to have you by my side." Orion extended a hand to help the general up.
"Thank you, Lord!" Zhang Shigui replied, his face impassive but his loyalty clear.
Orion turned to another one of his trusted warriors, Yuan Zuozong. "You two have a task. Now that Chang'an is ours, I want you to fully control the city. Root out anyone loyal to the Zhou royal family. No remnants. I don't want any surprises later."
Yuan Zuozong nodded, his face as serious as ever. "Understood. We will lock down the city and eliminate anyone loyal to the Zhou dynasty."
"Good," Orion said, his voice cold. He hated the thought of lingering threats from a fallen dynasty. Assassination attempts were more annoying than dangerous, but they could be a nuisance, and he preferred to sleep soundly.
"Yuxiang, have Xiaoyu assist with this," Orion continued, addressing his strategist. "We need a thorough sweep. No one escapes."
"As you command, Lord," Yuxiang said with a bow.
Orion's eyes flickered with mischief, a new idea forming. "By the way, how many of the old officials remain in Chang'an?"
"About seventy to eighty percent of the original officials are still here, my lord," Yuxiang responded. "The rest were killed in battle."
Orion chuckled darkly. "Gather them. Bring them before me. If any refuse… kill them on the spot."
"As you wish," Yuxiang and Ying Mo nodded and moved to execute his orders.
As his commanders went off to secure the city, Orion turned his attention back to the system. He still had four emperor-level lottery draws left. There was no reason to hold back now.
"System," he called, "give me four emperor-level draws in a row!"
[Ding! The host has chosen four emperor-level draws. Drawing now…]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning an exclusive guard: Qinglian Sword Emperor, Ye Bai!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining an emperor-level power upgrade card!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for receiving a top-grade Emperor Pill: Nine-turn Spiral Ascension Pill!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning an exclusive guard: Empress Jiuyou, You Susu!]
Orion's heart raced as the rewards poured in. Two emperor-level guards, an upgrade card, and a top-grade pill! The Qinglian Sword Emperor and Empress Jiuyou—both were legendary figures in their own right.
"This is… incredible!" Orion marveled. With these new additions to his forces, Chang'an City was just the beginning of his conquest.
